Pastoral
PASTORAL CARE AT CHURSTON
The objective for the Pastoral team at Churston is ensuring the personal, social and emotional development of students through the consistent and fair implementation of school rules and expectations.
The pastoral care system reinforces the importance of good behaviour and personal motivation, under-pinning effective learning for all and maintaining a climate in which students feel secure and are aware of their obligations. Such pastoral care should enable all students to reach their full potential.
